# Using form method=post with wordpress

 * I am trying to integrate a ‘subscribe to newsletter’ feature on my wordpress 
   blog
 * Users just need to enter their name and email address, hit subscribe. This is
   then supposed to send me an email and I add them to the mailing list.
 * I activated the WP SMTP Mail plugin and entered in the relevant email server 
   information to enable WordPress to send emails, asked WordPress to send me a 
   test message and this worked.
 * Now I want to receive an email whenever someone fills in their name & email and
   hit subscribe.
 * If I do this at the moment it just takes me to newsletter_signup.php and I get
   at error message saying…
 * ‘NOT FOUND Apologies, but no results were found for the requested post.’
    Obviously
   this is not right and no email is being sent/received.
 * I have attached my code below, can anyone help me out here?
 * Thanks
 * Code for the signup form sidebar.php – This is not a plugin.
 *     ```
       <form action="newsletter_signup.php" method="post">
       <p><input class="full" type="text" name="fullname" placeholder="Your name*"></p>
          <p><input class="full" type="email" name="Email" placeholder="Your email                                    address*"></p>
       <p><input type="submit" class="sub-btn" value="Subscribe"></p>
                               </form>
       ```
   
 * newsletter_signup.php
 *     ```
       <?php
       $fullname = $_POST['name'];
       $Email = $_POST['Email'];
   
       $to = 'me@myself.com';      
   
       wp_mail($to, $fullname, 'From: ' . $Email);
       echo 'Your request Has Been Sent, Thank You. ';
   
       ?>
       ```

 * Where did you get that code for the form? This will not work inside the WordPress/
   Widget set up like you have.
